Hi

Can I be the dumbest poster on this thread and ask what I need to do to install these themes (ZTE Blade themes for Swedish Spring RLS5)?

I've gathered I need to stick the theme (in its .zip form) onto the root of the SD card. Then I need to open Clockwork (Turn on the phone whilst holding the Volume Down button on the side of your phone. Continue to hold the Volume Down button for 5 seconds)


The do I simply go straight to 'Install .zip from SD card'? Pointing it toward the downloaded theme should be it, no? Then it will reboot by itself...? (I can't remember how I stuck my ROM on months ago now...)


Many thanks

Yah, you're doing fine :) It won't reboot itself but I guess you'll be able to find out how you can force it to reboot LOL

Unless it's bad theme, no, you won't brick you phone.

But ofcourse, everything here has to be used at your own risk.

Try not to use themes from weird pages. Most/all themes here have been downloaded and tested many times, so none so far will brick your phone.


I own a Windows Phone 7 now and I love it more than anything that my finger have touched. Yes, 'anything' ;)

Well I went ahead and...

Now I'm addicted!!!  I got a few from Frankish's 'Unified Theme Thread'.  Are there any other sources for Blade themes?  I've Googled it but it didn't return many.

Keep in mind not to mix up too much, cos not all themes use the same framework, which might eventually bring your phone to a slow-motion-event . Best shot is take a good look at the screenshots published, and stick to your choice of theme untill nxt time you reflash a new OS...
